ORS § 90 § 90.865
Dealer notice of rent payments and financing.
Operative Text
A seller of a manufactured dwelling who is subject to ORS 446.661 to 446.756 must provide notice under ORS 90.870 if the manufactured dwelling is to be placed in a facility and the seller: (1) Pays a portion of the rent for the dwelling; or (2) Provides financing or assists the buyer in arranging financing that results in a party taking a purchase money security interest in the dwelling and the seller knows that a portion of the proceeds from the financing is to be used to pay a portion of the rent for the dwelling.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.865 establishes a disclosure requirement that applies when a manufactured dwelling is being sold and placed in a facility (such as a manufactured dwelling park). Specifically, if the seller pays any portion of the lot rent, or if the seller provides or arranges financing where some of the loan proceeds will cover a portion of the rent, the seller must deliver the notice described in ORS 90.870. The rule is designed to ensure that buyers are informed when rent obligations are being subsidized or intertwined with their financing arrangement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and sellers of manufactured dwellings who are subject to ORS 446.661 to 446.756 should be aware that ORS § 90.865 triggers a mandatory notice obligation under ORS 90.870 in two situations: when the seller is covering part of the facility rent, or when financing is structured so that loan proceeds pay a portion of that rent. Compliant sellers generally identify these arrangements early in the transaction and deliver the required ORS 90.870 notice before the sale is completed. Keeping documentation of when and how the notice was provided is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under ORS § 90.865, buyers of manufactured dwellings being placed in a facility have a right to receive a specific notice (described in ORS 90.870) whenever the seller is paying part of the rent or has arranged financing that uses loan proceeds to cover rent. This disclosure is meant to help buyers understand the true cost structure of their housing situation, particularly when rent subsidies or financing terms may change over time. Tenants or buyers who believe this notice was not provided may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the complaint processes available through Oregon's housing regulatory framework.
